Question: What are some fun recipes I can make at home using ordinary household items?
My friend and I are bored and we love to cook! But we don’t have a lot of ingredients that some of the fancy recipes call for and we already did the basics like pancakes, cookies, smoothies and pasta. So we are looking to make some more fancy things with stuff we have because we can’t get to the store this week. Please leave some recipes! Thanks!!!
Ordinary as in salt, pepper, baking powder+soda, olive oil, butter, sugar, flour, lots of spices and brown sugar. Stuff like that.

TUNA BURGERS….this recipe is very forgiving…even when you don’t have or don’t like some of the ingredients

Ingredients

* 1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained
* 1 egg
* 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
* 1/3 cup minced onion
* 1/4 cup minced celery
* 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
* 1/4 cup mayonnaise
* 2 tablespoons chili sauce
* 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1 dash hot pepper sauce
* 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
* 4 hamburger buns
* 1 tomato, sliced
* 4 leaves of lettuce (optional)

Directions

1. Combine tuna, egg, bread crumbs, onion, celery, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, hot chili sauce, chili sauce, dill, salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Shape into 4 patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle, if desired.
2. Coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray; fry tuna patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. These are fragile, so be careful when turning them.
3. Serve on buns with tomato slices and lettuce leaves, if desired.

MINI QUICHES

Ingredients

* 6 slices bacon, chopped
* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 eggs
* 1/2 cup buttermilk baking mix
* 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* 1 cup shredded American cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin pans. In a large skillet over medium heat, fry bacon and onion together for about 5 minutes, or until bacon is crisp. Drain and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the baking mix, parsley, shredded cheese, bacon and onion. Spoon into greased muffin cups.

3. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the tops are lightly browned. Allow mini quiches to cool in the pan before carefully removing with a small knife or spatula.

NOTE–you can modify this one, too: using 5 eggs and just 2/3 cup of Bisquick…changing cheese to cheddar.

Can make other variation: spinach, artichoke and swiss/mozzarella cheese mix (very tasty);
